I feel your pain! My two current hates: Tree sap and bird crap. I almost bought a car cover but stopped myself at the last minute - I can only imagine the state the paintwork would be in after dragging a car cover over dirty car every morning and night. Instead, I spent 3 hours yesterday...

I've only got the AGSRP because it came in the 'Lifeshine' pack when I bought my car but once that's finished off I'll be exploring other polishes I think. Fortunately I've got no stone chips at all! I did have though... had the bonnet re-sprayed. Some pointing fell off the house roof last year...

I used AG Super Resin Polish and AG HD Wax which seemed to give pretty good results. Is it okay to just 'top up' the wax if needs be then? You don't need to 'strip' the previous coat off or anything? I probably would do yearly and give it another polish, but if I can get away with it then I'd...

I polished and waxed my car back in February, along with some other things such as Gtechniq to the windows etc. When should I look at waxing my car again? And polishing again? I've not been able to wash it very much since February as I've been concentrating relentlessly on my final semester of...

That wasn't the 'black cab' I was expecting - I genuinely thought you meant a London taxi!

So much stuff to learn still! :scared2: I'm slowly getting there... Cheers for all the advice guys. Will apply some wax to the areas I missed last time, try and remove the polish marks from the plastic trim and see how I get on.

Tricks of the trade, ey. Excellent advice, thanks. I'll give a small section of the grille a go next time and see if it comes off without any fuss. It seems like it would, it's not a textured plastic.

Thanks for that, I'll have to look into these products. I know what you mean about the white residue on the plastic - I forgot to tape off the bottom of my windscreen and I've now got lovely white marks on the plastic due to polishing. Would AG Vinyl & Rubber Care get this off? Or would it just...

That makes sense, looks like I'll have to add another washing stage to the list next time I clay. Thanks for the advice.

I'm after a bit of advice from some seasoned detailers if you don't mind. I (finally) did my first big wash this weekend. On top of the usual snowfoam and wash, I also scrubbed the tyres, polished the car, waxed the car, treated all the windows with Gtechniq (amazing stuff). It took me 6 hours...

Cheers for that, I might look into this if the windscreen is still an issue. I'm going to try some glass polish next time I have chance to give my car a proper wash and see if that helps.

I'm in the same boat as you mate. The furthest I'd explored was snowfoaming, followed by the 2 bucket method using a lambswool mitt and microfibre drying towel. The next step for me seemed to be polishing and maybe waxing, which I didn't want to do until I'd clayed the car. Fortunately when I...

I think I'll probably leave it to be honest and put it down to a lesson learnt at the risk of making things worse. To be honest I forget they're there, it's just a bit heartbreaking when you wash your car and see them again.

Pics as promised (only just got round to washing my car... it was so satisfying at long last!!)... As you can see the rear window's factory tint has been scratched which I can only assume is down to my terrible attempt at claying :( gutted. The windscreen scratches aren't showing up - only...

Cheers for the advice guys. Sorry I've not updated with pictures yet - not had chance to wash my car recently! It only properly shows up after a wash so once I get round to washing it I'll use the AG stuff, see if it helps and post a few pictures (if the scratches are visible in photographs)...

Yeah it seems so. The tints are factory which as far as I'm aware means the glass itself is tinted as opposed to the films that are used afterwards so wouldn't have expected that to be possible? I'll see if I can take a picture later - it's basically a small clear line through the tinted glass...

I'll try get some pictures tomorrow but it might be quite difficult to capture in photos - it's only obvious when the sunlight is shining directly onto the windscreen. It might just be a coincidence but I've never noticed these things before and it was after my first attempt at claying that I...

I'd never used a clay bar before, in fact, I had no idea what it was until I started looking at ways to look after my car (the irony). I used one last time I washed my car. I read up as best I could on how to properly use one, watched numerous YouTube videos etc to ensure I didn't do more harm...
